It could be looked at both ways Zac, You lose and walkoff the field. or, you win and everyone walks off the field and the game is over.
Ciriaco seems to have the yanks #. Ump was squeezing Lester a bit tonight, but he only allowed what, 5 hits? shouldve been more like 4BB IMO. Still not good, but he battled and kept them in it.
Good for BV to come out and have a few words with Lester AND the umpire...
Always a great game no matter what the situation with these 2 teams. Ill take the spoiler role this year...

He did get squeezed a bit zac...Never said he pitched great, but it didnt help...BV did talk to Lester to gret him focused again. but as Bobby was facing Lester when he was walking away and yelling, it was obviously said at the umpire...I believe he didnt want to get ejected so he didnt face the ump. didnt want to try and show him up...He pretty much said so on NESN after the game...
And YES, Where is my edit button??? I miss it...

Some great plays in the field (at an unnatural position); and that single in the 9th was a ball way outside and nearly touching the ground - uncanny, and what a player

I'll always wonder if that Ichiro throw, had it been 5 yrs ago, would have got Ciriaco. No matter; game would have been won by RS regardless IMO

that was a nice piece of hitting, he was practically across the plate...IRT Valentine, that was the most lively i've seen him in months...ump had a pretty tight strike zone, that ball four pitch to Cano was tough to judge, couldn't tell if it was because Lavarnway swept the glove or it was just inside, Cano's hesitation made me think it was strike three, there were quite a few late strike calls on both pitchers...

weird...i thought we were talking about 5 years ago. didnt you bring up 5 years ago? i know i didnt bring up 5 years ago. if if if if if it was 5 years ago ichiro would have thrown him out...right? if if if if
if you want to bring up 89 years of baseball history - that's great! 2004 falls under that and that was the best feeling a baseball fan has ever had. you probably enjoyed all those 1950's championships.... remember Joe D's walk off hit against the sox in game 5 of the ALCS...oh wait...nevermind....

I was talking Ichiro, (and otherwise complimentary to the RS win, I don't think you'll ever do that for the NYY, more likely you would disappear), and you twisted it. In the spirit of that and 2007, I held true to the context mentioning the 27/2 championships in 89 yrs. Not much more of a twist, don't you think?

You reap what you sow.

On a different note, and 2004 notwithstanding (Hold onto that crumb, although a fabulous one), I remember 9 NYY WSCs BTW. If you are 12 yrs old (are you?), it is extremely unlikely you shall ever get there.

Crumb or not Steven, as a Sox fan and the child of a life long suffering one, I'll cherish the memory of it until the day I die. As much for the way we got there, as the end result. Nor was it a fluke, followed by 2007. Sox fans had their day in the sun. If I never live to see it again, I'm satisfied.

I've made the point before that the Sox always seem to turn it up a notch, and play at a higher level against NY. Why they can't against other teams, especially the ones on the left coast, is beyond me.
